A Sessions Court of Jammu and Kashmir has granted bail to a person, accused of promoting enmity for his comments at a Janta Darbar that he has no expectations from non-local officers posted in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

The judge while passing the said orders said, "It is indubitably true that every accused has the fundamental right to free and fair investigation as also trial."

The FIRs have been filed against charges such as defaming the government, inciting communal tension, sedition, promoting enmity, and criminal conspiracy.
